Out Of Town

Dear Clients,

I will be out of town from today until December 28th. I will not have internet access and can only be reached by phone. I will be in a different time zone so you will probably get my voicemail. For quicker access please text me at 801-380-5861.

I will not be able to fulfill orders or edit while I am gone.

I hope everyone has a very safe and Merry, Christmas.

LOVE LOVE LOVE,

Island Girl Raquel

Winter Bridals

This fabulous little bride not only has great fashion sense but she is not afraid to go to American Fork Canyon for some freezing, snow to the knees shots. I laughed so hard at myself because I normally don't go anywhere in the Winter, but his was totally worth it!

I've been busy :D

Did a family/Engagement session for this fabulous trio.

Photographed my dear friends... Jacob you rock! ;)

Also photographed my handsome nephew who is turning 8 and is getting baptized...

I photographed these beauties...

Help please

Help! I have a fabulous bride who wants Aspen trees in her backgrounds and I am in hibernation most winters hee hee ... can anyone tell me where I can take her with amazing trees, and a closed canyon feel? Where the roads won't be closed off? Thank you ahead of time.

Out Of Town

For those who have approached me about a session but not have not chosen a date, I am leaving Wednesday the 17th and won't be back until the 28th in the night. I have a session on the 29th and won't be doing sessions until the weekend.

So, for any gift certificates or sessions please be sure to contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you!

All the way from TX

This is an old friend from about 9 years ago - wow I am old and I've been here longer than I like to admit. He and his family are in town for the Holidays and wanted to do a shoot with me, I was so honored and I hope they like the sneak preview. They are a HOT couple. ;)

Busy weekend! :D

My beautiful, completely delicious, lovable nephew.

Tiffany I love your pics! I can't wait to edit them all!

Anna- "It would be boring with just one". This is what these twins mom told me. :D

Special Offer

Clients have been asking me about the special offer from earlier this month and I have been honoring it.

Orchard Families

Just a few shots from todays mini shoots at the Orchard.

Love Love Love

the way this session turned out. They are family and so it's fun and easy going to shoot them but they blew me away today with how easy they were to shoot considering we had very little light. "K" I am dying over your night shots!!!! Gorgeous little girl. 

Meet Hillary

This is Ms. Gorgeous Hillary my new partner in crime photographer. Some of you may know about my little project with her and we are excited to start it. She is so much fun and our boys have hit it off as well!!! YAY!  She is expecting baby #2 and neither one of us was prepared to take pictures of each other so we are both feeling self conscious about our individual shots. But I think she is stunning. 

A girl and the goat

going through old files and remembering this adorable little girl!

Cold day for family pictures

Wow, yesterday was so cold in AF. We could not believe that wind! But this family was so easy going and o so very sweet, specially Wilma... now her husband... ahah kidding. He had me laughing and brought out the sassy in me for sure.

Too funny

I had a blast taking pictures of this family after the storm kicked me out of the Provo Canyon. The men cracked me up! This is why there is the fabulous pose shot ... you know which one ;)

And of course we got lots of fabulous group pics, but why not post the funny one?

Gaines Family

These are friends whom I have taken their pictures for many years now (thank you!) and though we got POURED on in the mountains this weekend, I think we got some great shots.
